Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery assembly technology, specifically to a U-shaped modular production line for assembling batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industries such as new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment, the market demand for batteries, as core energy storage components, continues to surge. This places higher demands on the automation level, production efficiency, and space utilization of battery assembly lines. U-shaped production lines, due to their compact layout, small footprint, and short material flow paths, are gradually becoming the mainstream layout in the battery assembly field, reducing material handling distances and improving production continuity. However, existing U-shaped battery assembly production lines still have many technical challenges: Poor adaptability to docking adjustments: Processing errors or differences in installation conditions between different batches of production lines can easily lead to height deviations or horizontal misalignments at the docking points of multiple production lines. Furthermore, the docking structures of existing production lines are mostly fixed designs, which cannot flexibly adjust the height and horizontal position, easily causing battery transport jams and reducing transport efficiency. At the same time, the reliability of the locking structure after docking is insufficient, and long-term use can easily lead to locking failure due to vibration, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Insufficient versatility of support mechanisms: Most existing production line support components are designed with a fixed height, which cannot be adjusted according to the flatness of the production site, the equipment installation height requirements, or the assembly needs of different battery specifications. This results in difficult production line installation, poor adaptability, and difficulty in meeting the needs of diverse production scenarios.

[0004] Inadequate protection and adjustment functions: During battery assembly, protective structures are required on both sides of the production line to ensure the safety of operators. However, existing protective components are mostly fixed-size protective nets that cannot be extended or adjusted according to the width of the production line and the operating space requirements, thus limiting the protection range. Moreover, the adjustment mechanism of the protective components mostly adopts manual plugging and unplugging or multi-bolt fixing, which is cumbersome to operate, has low adjustment efficiency, and is difficult to quickly adapt to the protection needs of different production conditions.

[0005] Lack of flexibility in assembly, disassembly, and layout: The existing U-shaped production line has a complex splicing structure, and disassembly and assembly require professional tools, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is impossible to quickly adjust the number of production line groups or the layout according to production tasks, and its adaptability and scalability are insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of small-batch, multi-variety battery production.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This U-shaped modular production line for assembling batteries addresses existing technical pain points through the coordinated operation of various mechanisms, with specific technical effects as follows: 1. Improve production continuity and efficiency: By using a scheme of "several modular production line bodies arranged in a U-shape", "linear conveyors installed on the inner wall of the modular production line bodies", and "interlocking turning conveyors between adjacent modular production line bodies at the U-shaped bends", the battery flow path conforms to the characteristics of the U-shaped layout, significantly reducing the material handling distance between different workstations, avoiding production interruptions caused by long paths, and improving production continuity; at the same time, the cooperation of the insertion mechanism (U-shaped plate, insertion plate, protrusion) and the docking mechanism (groove, docking block, pressure bar) can quickly correct the docking position of the modular production line bodies, reduce the docking gap, and prevent batteries from getting stuck at the docking point, further improving conveying efficiency.

Improve docking reliability and safety: With a "clamping mechanism including springs, clamping blocks, and bevels", when the docking block is inserted into the groove, the clamping block can automatically clamp the modular production line body under the action of the spring, eliminating the need for manual locking and preventing loosening of the docking due to vibration after long-term use, thus eliminating safety hazards; at the same time, with a "protective component including protective nets and telescopic nets", the protective nets and telescopic nets can prevent batteries from falling out accidentally, reduce the generation of defective products, and ensure production safety.

[0018] 4. Enhanced assembly / disassembly flexibility and protective adaptability: Through the "plug-in mechanism's plug-in structure" and the "press rod disassembly design of the docking mechanism," no professional tools are required for assembly / disassembly. The modular production line body can be assembled and disassembled simply by plugging or pressing, allowing for rapid adjustment of the number of production line groups or layout to suit small-batch, multi-variety production. Furthermore, the "adjustment mechanism including a rotating cylinder, anti-slip strip, and screw" allows for adjustment of the telescopic net height by rotating the rotating cylinder to drive the screw, eliminating the need for manual plugging or multiple bolt fixation. This enables rapid adaptation to the protection requirements of production lines of different widths or battery specifications, improving operational convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0026] This embodiment provides a U-shaped modular production line for assembling batteries, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, the modular production line body 1 for assembling batteries is provided. The modular production line body 1 is provided in several groups. The several groups of modular production line bodies 1 are arranged in a U-shape. A linear conveyor 2 is provided on the inner wall of each group of modular production line bodies 1. A turning conveyor 3 is movably connected between adjacent modular production line bodies 1 located at the U-shaped bend. A support mechanism 4 is provided at the bottom of the modular production line body 1. A plug-in mechanism 5 is provided on the side of the several groups of modular production line bodies 1 that are close to each other. The support mechanism 4 includes a movable plate 41, a fixed plate 42 and a first base plate 43. Two sets of movable plates 41 are provided. The two sets of movable plates 41 are horizontally fixed on both sides of the bottom of the modular production line body 1. The bottom of the movable plate 41 is movably inserted into the fixed plate 42, and the bottom of the fixed plate 42 is fixed to the first base plate 43. The insertion mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped plate 51, an insertion plate 52, and a protrusion 53. The U-shaped plate 51 is fixedly installed on one side of one set of modular production line bodies 1, and the insertion plate 52 is fixedly installed on one side of another set of modular production line bodies 1. The inner wall of the U-shaped plate 51 is fixedly installed with the protrusion 53, and the insertion plate 52 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 51, and the insertion plate 52 and the protrusion 53 are movably inserted into each other.

[0027] By arranging several modular production line bodies 1 in a U-shape, and installing linear conveyors 2 on the inner wall of the modular production line body 1, and interlocking turning conveyors 3 between adjacent modular production line bodies 1 at the U-shaped bends, the flow path of the batteries on the production line conforms to the characteristics of the U-shaped layout, reducing the material handling distance between different workstations and improving production continuity. Through the design of "supporting mechanism 4 including movable plate 41, fixed plate 42, and first base plate 43, with movable plate 41 horizontally fixed to both sides of the bottom of the modular production line body 1 and movably inserted into the fixed plate 42, and the first base plate 43 fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 42," the first base plate 43 provides stable bottom support for the entire system. The movable plate 41 and the fixed plate 42 are connected by a movable interlocking mechanism, which can synchronize the lifting and lowering of the modular production line body 1 with subsequent adjustment actions, thus avoiding shaking during the adjustment of the modular production line body 1. Through the scheme of "the interlocking mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped plate 51, an insert plate 52, and a protrusion 53, with the U-shaped plate 51 fixed to one side of a set of modular production line bodies 1 and the insert plate 52 fixed to one side of another set of modular production line bodies 1, and the insert plate 52 being inserted into the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 51 and interlocking with the protrusion 53", the interlocking of the insert plate 52 and the U-shaped plate 51, combined with the positioning of the protrusion 53, can quickly correct the docking position of the modular production line body 1, avoid tilting docking of the two sets of modular production line bodies 1, and improve docking efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a docking mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the two modular production line bodies 1 that are close to each other, and a lifting mechanism 7 is installed at the bottom of the docking mechanism 6. By using the scheme of "setting a docking mechanism 6 on one side of the two modular production line bodies 1 that are close to each other," the docking connection of the two modular production line bodies 1 is further strengthened, the gap at the docking point is reduced, and the overall structural stability is improved. By using the scheme of "setting a lifting mechanism 7 at the bottom of the docking mechanism 6," the lifting mechanism 7 can drive the docking mechanism 6 and the modular production line body 1 connected to it to adjust their height. This can compensate for height deviations caused by processing errors or differences in installation conditions between different batches of modular production line bodies 1, avoid battery jamming at the docking point, and improve conveying efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, clamping mechanisms 8 are provided on both sides of the docking mechanism 6, a protective component 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the modular production line body 1, and an adjustment mechanism 10 is provided on the side of the top of the modular production line body 1 near the protective component 9. With the "clamping mechanisms 8 on both sides of the docking mechanism 6", the clamping mechanisms 8 can lock the docking mechanism 6 and the modular production line body 1 after docking, preventing loosening due to vibration during long-term use and eliminating safety hazards. With the "protective component 9 on one side of the top of the modular production line body 1", the protective component 9 can block the battery during battery transport, preventing the battery from accidentally falling off the side of the production line and protecting battery safety. With the "adjustment mechanism 10 on the side of the top of the modular production line body 1 near the protective component 9", the adjustment mechanism 10 can adjust the protection range or height of the protective component 9, allowing the protective component 9 to adapt to the protection needs of production lines of different widths or batteries of different specifications, improving protection flexibility.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the docking mechanism 6 includes a groove 61, a docking block 62, and a pressure rod 63. The groove 61 is opened on the side where the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 are close to each other. The docking block 62 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 through the groove 61. The pressure rod 63 is movably inserted into the side where the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 are close to each other. By employing a design where "the docking mechanism 6 includes a groove 61, a docking block 62, and a pressure rod 63, with the groove 61 located on one side of the two modular production line bodies 1 that are close to each other, and the docking block 62 inserted into the inner wall of the two modular production line bodies 1 through the groove 61," the insertion of the docking block 62 into the groove 61 can quickly achieve the positioning and splicing of the two modular production line bodies 1, reducing alignment time during splicing, improving splicing efficiency, and enhancing the connection stability of the two modular production line bodies 1 after docking. Furthermore, by employing a design where "the pressure rod 63 is movably inserted into one side of the two modular production line bodies 1 that are close to each other," pressing the pressure rod 63 during subsequent disassembly can release the engagement between the docking block 62 and the modular production line body 1, eliminating the need for complex tools during disassembly and assembly, thus improving the ease of disassembly and assembly.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 7 includes a second base plate 71, a telescopic rod 72, and a hydraulic cylinder 73. The telescopic rod 72 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the docking block 62. The bottom of the telescopic rod 72 is fixedly mounted to the second base plate 71, and the top of the second base plate 71 is fixedly mounted to the hydraulic cylinder 73. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 73 is fixedly connected to the docking block 62. By employing a design where "the lifting mechanism 7 includes a second base plate 71, a telescopic rod 72, and a hydraulic cylinder 73, with the telescopic rod 72 fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the docking block 62 and its bottom fixedly mounted to the second base plate 71, and the hydraulic cylinder 73 fixedly mounted on the top of the second base plate 71 with its telescopic end connected to the docking block 62," the second base plate 71 provides stable bottom support for the lifting mechanism 7, preventing the entire structure from tipping over during lifting. The telescopic rod 72 can limit the swaying of the docking block 62 when the hydraulic cylinder 73 pushes it up and down, ensuring smooth lifting. The hydraulic cylinder 73 provides continuous and controllable driving force, enabling the docking block 62 and the modular production line body 1 to achieve height adjustment. The height can be adjusted according to the flatness of the production site, the equipment installation height requirements, or the assembly needs of batteries of different specifications, improving the adaptability of the production line to various scenarios.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 8 includes a spring 81, a clamping block 82, and a bevel 83. The spring 81 is fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the docking block 62, and the clamping block 82 is movably inserted into the inner walls of both sides of the docking block 62. The spring 81 and the clamping block 82 are fixedly connected, and the clamping block 82 has a bevel 83 on the side near the modular production line body 1. By employing a locking mechanism 8 comprising a spring 81, a locking block 82, and a bevel 83, with the spring 81 fixedly mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the docking block 62, and the locking block 82 movably inserted into the inner walls of both sides of the docking block 62 and connected to the spring 81, and the locking block 82 having a bevel 83 on the side closer to the modular production line body 1, when the docking block 62 is inserted into the groove 61, the inner wall of the modular production line body 1 presses against the bevel 83 of the locking block 82, causing the locking block 82 to compress the spring 81 and retract into the docking block 62. After the docking block 62 is in place, the spring 81 resets, pushing the locking block 82 to extend and engage with the corresponding structure of the modular production line body 1, thus achieving automated locking without the need for manual operation of the locking components, shortening the docking time. At the same time, the locking action of the locking block 82 can prevent the docking block 62 from loosening during use, improving the reliability of the docking.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective component 9 includes a protective net 91 and a telescopic net 92. The protective net 91 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the modular production line body 1, and the telescopic net 92 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the protective net 91. Through the scheme of "the protective component 9 including a protective net 91 and a telescopic net 92, with the protective net 91 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the modular production line body 1 and the telescopic net 92 movably inserted into the inner wall of the protective net 91," the protective net 91, as a basic protective structure, can prevent the accidental drop of batteries in most cases. The telescopic net 92 can extend and retract within the inner wall of the protective net 91. When the width of the production line increases or the protection range needs to be expanded, the telescopic net 92 can be extended to expand the protection area. When the operating space is limited, the telescopic net 92 can be retracted to reduce space occupation, adapting to the protection needs of different production scenarios while preventing an increase in defective products caused by battery drops.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 10 includes a rotating cylinder 101, an anti-slip strip 102, and a screw 103. The rotating cylinder 101 is rotatably mounted on the top of the modular production line body 1 near the protective net 91. The surface of the rotating cylinder 101 is fixed to the anti-slip strip 102. The inner wall of the rotating cylinder 101 is threadedly connected to the screw 103. The top of the screw 103 is rotatably connected to the telescopic net 92. By employing a design where "the adjusting mechanism 10 includes a rotating cylinder 101, an anti-slip strip 102, and a screw 103, with the rotating cylinder 101 rotatably mounted on the top of the modular production line body 1 near the protective net 91, the anti-slip strip 102 fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating cylinder 101, and the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 101 threadedly connected to the screw 103, and the top of the screw 103 rotatably connected to the telescopic net 92," the anti-slip strip 102 increases the friction between the hand and the rotating cylinder 101 when the rotating cylinder 101 is rotated, preventing slippage during rotation. The threaded engagement between the rotating cylinder 101 and the screw 103 converts the rotational motion into axial movement of the screw 103, thereby driving the telescopic net 92 to rise and fall. This eliminates the need for manual insertion and removal or multiple bolt fixing methods to adjust the protective height, making operation simple and convenient. It can quickly adjust the protective height of the telescopic net 92 according to batteries of different height specifications, improving adjustment efficiency.

[0035] Working principle: 1. Basic conveying and layout principle: The modular production line body 1 is the core load-bearing structure. Several sets of modular production line bodies 1 are arranged in a U-shape to form a compact production layout. The linear conveyor 2 is installed on the inner wall of the modular production line body 1 to transport batteries in a straight line. The turning conveyor 3 is connected between adjacent modular production line bodies 1 at the U-shaped turn to realize the turning and transporting of batteries on the U-shaped path and reduce the material handling distance.

[0036] 2. Support and Height Adjustment Principle: In the support mechanism 4, the first base plate 43 is connected to the modular production line body 1 through the fixed plate 42 and the movable plate 41, providing basic support for the production line; when the height needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic cylinder 73 in the lifting mechanism 7 extends and retracts to push the docking block 62, and the docking block 62 drives the modular production line body 1 connected to it to rise and fall synchronously. At this time, the movable plate 41 slides along the inner wall of the fixed plate 42, and the telescopic rod 72 extends and retracts axially, providing guidance for the lifting process, avoiding the modular production line body 1 from shaking, and ensuring stable height adjustment.

[0037] 3. Docking and Locking Principle: When assembling the modular production line body 1, the insert plate 52 in the insertion mechanism 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 51 of another set of modular production line bodies 1. The protrusion 53 cooperates with the insert plate 52 to correct the docking position and prevent tilting. At the same time, the docking block 62 in the docking mechanism 6 is inserted into the groove 61 of the two sets of modular production line bodies 1. The inner wall of the modular production line body 1 in the locking mechanism 8 squeezes the inclined opening 83 of the locking block 82, causing the locking block 82 to compress the spring 81 and retract into the docking block 62. After the docking block 62 is in place, the spring 81 resets and pushes the locking block 82 out, locking it into the corresponding structure of the modular production line body 1 to achieve automatic locking. When disassembling, press the pressure rod 63. The pressure rod 63 pushes the locking block 82 to retract into the docking block 62, which can release the lock and separate the modular production line body 1.

[0038] 4. Protection and Adjustment Principle: The protective net 91 in the protective component 9 is the basic protective structure, preventing the battery from accidentally falling. When it is necessary to adjust the protection range or height, the rotating cylinder 101 in the adjustment mechanism 10 is rotated, and the anti-slip strip 102 increases the friction of the hand to avoid slipping. The rotating cylinder 101 and the screw 103 are connected by a thread to convert the rotation into the axial movement of the screw 103. The screw 103 drives the telescopic net 92 to rise or fall or extend along the inner wall of the protective net 91, so as to realize the adjustment of the protection range and height to adapt to the needs of different production scenarios.

[0039] How to use: 1. Production line planning and preparation: First, plan the overall size of the U-shaped production line and the number of modular production line body 1 according to production needs, determine the installation position of the turning conveyor 3, and prepare the required modular production line body 1, linear conveyor 2, turning conveyor 3 and various auxiliary mechanisms (support mechanism 4, plug-in mechanism 5, docking mechanism 6, etc.).

[0040] 2. Modular production line body splicing: Align the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 to be spliced ​​with each other, so that the insert plate 52 of one set of modular production line bodies 1 is aligned with the U-shaped plate 51 of the other set; place the second base plate 71 of the lifting mechanism 7 on the ground between the two sets of modular production line bodies 1, and push the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 closer to each other, so that the insert plate 52 is inserted into the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 51, and at the same time, the docking block 62 is inserted into the inner wall of the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 through the groove 61; during the docking process, the inner wall of the modular production line body 1 presses the inclined opening 83 of the locking block 82, the locking block 82 compresses the spring 81 and retracts into the docking block 62, and after the two sets of modular production line bodies 1 are fully docked, the spring 81 resets and pushes the locking block 82 out, which is locked into the corresponding structure of the modular production line body 1 to complete the automatic locking.

[0041] 3. Installation of the turning conveyor: According to the U-shaped layout plan, the turning conveyor 3 is clamped between the adjacent modular production line body 1 at the U-shaped turn, ensuring that the conveying path of the turning conveyor 3 and the modular production line body 1 on both sides is smoothly connected without any gaps or obstructions.

[0042] 4. Height Adjustment: If the height of the production line needs to be adjusted according to the flatness of the site or production requirements, start the hydraulic cylinder 73 of the lifting mechanism 7. The extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 73 pushes the docking block 62 to rise or fall. The docking block 62 drives the modular production line body 1 to rise and fall synchronously. At this time, the movable plate 41 slides along the inner wall of the fixed plate 42, and the telescopic rod 72 extends and retracts axially until the production line reaches the required height, then the hydraulic cylinder 73 is turned off.

[0043] 5. Protection Adjustment: Adjust the protection range and height according to the width of the production line or the battery specifications. Rotate the rotating cylinder 101 of the adjustment mechanism 10. The anti-slip strip 102 prevents the hand from slipping. The rotating cylinder 101 drives the screw 103 to move axially through the thread. The screw 103 pushes the telescopic net 92 to rise or fall or extend along the inner wall of the protective net 91 until the protection range and height are adapted to the production requirements.

[0044] 6. Production Operation: Start the linear conveyor 2 and the turning conveyor 3, place the battery on the linear conveyor 2, the battery is transported along the linear conveyor 2, and after turning on the turning conveyor 3, it continues to be transported along the U-shaped path to complete the assembly operation at each station; during the production process, the protective net 91 and the telescopic net 92 prevent the battery from falling accidentally.

[0045] 7. Production Line Adjustment and Disassembly: If it is necessary to adjust the production line layout or disassemble, first turn off all conveyors, press the pressure bar 63 of the docking mechanism 6, the pressure bar 63 pushes the locking block 82 back into the docking block 62, and releases the lock; then pull the modular production line body 1, so that the insert plate 52 disengages from the U-shaped plate 51 and the docking block 62 disengages from the groove 61, completing the separation of the two sets of modular production line bodies 1; if it is necessary to disassemble the turning conveyor 3, simply remove it from between the adjacent modular production line bodies 1.
